I’ve spent some time this evening looking at Google Analytics. (Now the data is being collected.) And I’ve got to say I’m impressed with the scope of what I’m seeing. First, since last night, more stats have been collected, there seem to be some missing from today yet (maybe ~12 hours behind at the moment). […]

I’ve just logged back in at 1:11 AM EST, 11/16/05 and am seeing the stats from the 14th come in, some from the 15th. It looks like Google Analytics is starting to catch up. I suspect they’ve been working overtime to try and beef up the server resources dedicated to this project, hopefully things will […]

Well, I mentioned the release of Google Analytics yesterday which really looks promising. At this hour I can still say it looks promising.

I don’t know why but I’ve never really paid much attention to the thought of templates outside of those for a cms platform like wordpress or ezcontents, etc. However, recently I’ve started a site redesign […]

Recently I’ve had an experiment with the way Google crawls a site. I had a client site that had not been spidered in spite of being submitted to Google a good while back. I looked at the site and saw nothing amiss. There was plenty of text on the page everything looked good. I found […]

If you have a website, you likely will look at your logs from time to time to see just who or how many people are visiting your site. I’ve certainly looked at a lot of logfiles both for my site and for others and thought I’d pass along some things you will likely see. For […]
